Appearing in Magistrates Court today [Jan 28] 38-year-old Kevin Rubaine* changed his earlier plea of not guilty to a plea of guilty to a charge of sexual assault in December 2015.

The Crown Prosecutor told Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo that in December, a female was seated on a bus when the man sitting next to her began making strange noises.

She stood up in the aisle but the man followed and stood behind her. She felt him touching her and told the bus driver who then ordered the man to come to the front of the bus. She used her smartphone to take a picture of the man and called police, who arrested the defendant.

The Magistrate set sentencing for March 2016 and ordered Social Inquiry and Mental Health reports.

*His last name was listed as either Rabain and Rubaine in various Court documents.
